My local bbs, a Wildcat board, now has a telnet node, so I have been
trying to access it and grab qwk packets with Kermit. With K95, and
using the board's zmodem protocol, the packets come through nicely.
If I set the board to use its kermit protocol, then the packets come
through mangled and can't be unzipped. This even if I set K95 to "robust"
mode.
I get the same result using Kermit for DOS on another machine, i.e. qwk
packets sent to me via kermit get corrupted in transit.
I do notice some oddness at the end of the d/l; it's as if the board isn't
sure the packet d/l has been completed. I don't see this using zmodem.
I'm doing all of this via ethernet to a Linux box connected to a cable modem.
